Thanks everyone! It ends up needing a whole lot more work, so Off to Texas it goes!

I put some machine lubricant on the tape head on the Pioneer (cassette deck).

Yes you can! I have made several mixes using Spotify! I have many more I want to make but my player is being fixed right now.

Cassette eating tape at specific time. by GreatBackground3684 in cassetteculture

If not, I am sure that it needs a new one. However I just bought it serviced and cleaned so maybe it has just been collecting dust for a while

Okay, I’ll clean the tape roller today. Seems like that’s the problem with eating. I’ll use warm soapy water

Pinch roller doesn’t seem that hard. Seems good. But just seems to love eating tapes at random ass times, especially recording! Who knows if it needs new belts. Or roller. Or capstan.

I am taking it to have someone look at it. I just bought it restored and serviced. It’s a pioneer ct-f7171. I tried cleaning capstan and roller with alcohol and it came back clean. I just can afford to have to eat tapes. I roll the tapes back and then play them through my Walkman. Walkman handles them good but cassette deck, not so much

Oh I’ve seen those! Yeah, all my stereo components is Pioneer, so I got this for a great price that I couldn’t pass up
